The decision was made following a one-month consultation period, which was initiated following the observation by Fastmarkets and market participants that exports of pig iron from the Baltic had slowed substantially.
Feedback during the consultation from one participant was that pig iron shipments from Russian Baltic Sea ports have indeed continued, although the volume of such shipments is minor.
The affected price is:
MB-IRO-0001 Pig iron export, fob main port Baltic Sea, CIS, $/tonne
